Our first full day in Montana was filled to the brim. Breakfast at Cracker Barrel in Missoula, boon docking for the day in Butte where Antrit found us via the Rover Tracker and joined in as we came up with some creative solutions to limited power and iffy connections.

Hadea takes a minute to introduce herself to the community while roaming around Butte, and then we are off to Bozeman, where we score a beautiful RV spot at a KOA camp and get free passes to the Bozeman Hot Springs.

Russia will fork Sailfish OS to shut out pesky Western spooks

Russia’s Minister of Communications and Mass Media, Nikolai Nikiforov, has taken part in talks to form a consortium that will aid Russia in developing a custom mobile OS, reportedly a forked version of Jolla’s Sailfish OS, to lessen its dependence on Western technology.

Nikiforov held a working meeting last week with the leadership of Hong Kong-based Sailfish Holdings, developer of the quietly admired Sailfish OS.

Alongside other participants, the parties involved discussed the use of open-source software in the public and private sectors, taking into account technical, economic and political factors, the latter of which is expected to include United States’ interference with exported technologies.

Lenovo To Wipe Superfish Off PCs t

An anonymous reader send news from the Wall Street Journal, where Lenovo CTO Peter Hortensius said in an interview that the company will roll out a software update to remove the Superfish adware from its laptops. “As soon as the programmer is finished, we will provide a tool that removes all traces of the app from people’s laptops; this goes further than simply uninstalling the app. Once the app-wiping software is finished tonight or tomorrow, we’ll issue a press release with information on how to get it.” When asked whether his company vets the software they pre-install on their machines, he said, “Yes, we do. Obviously in this case we didn’t do enough. The intent of loading this tool was to help enhance our users’ shopping experience. The feedback from users was that it wasn’t useful, and that’s why we turned it off. Our reputation is everything and our products are ultimately how we have our reputation.”

HP Targets Cisco and Facebook With New Line of Open-Source Networking Gear

Hewlett-Packard said on Thursday that it would sell a new line of networking switches that are manufactured by a Taiwanese company and depend on Linux-based, open-source software from another company.

HEALTH WATCH: sweatthesweetstuff — Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring and that working out can be fun!

I want people to understand their bodies. To know that there is a connection between what we put in it and on it, and how that makes us feel. That eating right isn’t just about losing weight, it’s about how good we can feel! On the inside and out. It doesn’t stop at our dress size and energy levels (which are great) but it can help improve other things like your skin, hair & nails, achy joints, headaches, allergies, asthma, your menstrual cycle, IBS, indigestion, several diseases, even cancer. Your body is smart. It knows what to do. You just have to give it the right stuff.

Show Notes:

Steam Is Getting A Massive Overhaul

The revision—which Valve is calling the Steam Discovery Update and which goes live today—will implement a number of big changes including a revamped recommendations system, a queue in which you can swipe through new games based on what you’ve played and liked before, and a new program called Steam Curators that will allow anyone to take the role of tastemaker, recommending games to the public and accumulating followers based on their tastes.

We have made great efforts to increase the number of titles we can publish on Steam, which means more choices for customers,” Valve UI designer Alden Kroll said in a press release. “This update introduces multiple features and functionality to help customers explore Steam’s growing catalog and find the games they are most interested in playing.”

iOS 8 Users Report Slow Wi-Fi, Battery Drains | News & Opinion

“Wi-Fi problems on iPad Air, iPad mini with Retina display and iPhone 5S after upgrading to iOS 8,” an Apple user wrote in a Saturday post on the Apple forums. “I am thinking about going back to my iPad 2 with iOS 7.1.2 that is working perfectly until the Wi-Fi issues are resolved.”

Wi-Fi woes were not the only thing plaguing iOS 8 users. Others reported battery-drain issues. “My battery drains very fast (100 percent to zero in about 4 hours with minimal usage), started happening right after I upgraded to iOS 8. Issue started happening both on my iPhone 5S and on my iPad Air after iOS 8 upgrade,” one user wrote.

Feds say Bitcoin miner maker Butterfly Labs ran “systematic deception” | Ars Technica

The Federal Trade Commission has filed a civil lawsuit against Butterfly Labs (BFL), an embattled Kansas-based Bitcoin miner manufacturer. The FTC alleges that the company engaged in fraudulent and deceptive practices.

Federal authorities believe that the three named members of the company’s board of directors—Jody Drake (aka Darla Drake), Nasser Ghoseiri, and Sonny Vleisides—spent millions of corporate revenue on all kinds of things, including saunas and guns, while ignoring many customer orders that went unfulfilled or were significantly delayed.

“The FTC alleges that one corporate defendants and three individual defendants have taken in over $50 million by operating a scheme that required consumers to pre-pay for machines that would allow consumers to ‘mine’ for Bitcoins, a new virtual currency,” the complaint states. “Defendants either never delivered these machines or delivered them so late that they became obsolete.”

Vizio takes 4K mainstream with launch of $999.99 P-Series TV | The Verge

Vizio has just announced that the P-Series 4K LED HDTV line we first saw way back at CES is now available. And it starts at only $999.99 for the 50-inch model,

4K content is getting easier to come by, too; Netflix is still your primary source, but its catalog is growing (albeit slowly) and Amazon plans to offer 4K video later this year. Both of those apps can be streamed on the P-Series. The main takeaway is this: 4K TVs aren’t new, but Vizio is here now. And when a $999 4K TV has floor space at Walmart, that’s (hopefully) going to push companies to move even faster in getting 4K movies and TV shows out there.

Headlines

EuroBSDCon 2014 talks and schedule

• The talks and schedules for EuroBSDCon 2014 are finally revealed
• The opening keynote is called “FreeBSD, looking forward to another 10 years” by jkh
• Lots of talks spanning FreeBSD, OpenBSD and PCBSD, and we finally have a few about NetBSD and DragonflyBSD too! Variety is great
• It looks like Theo even has a talk, but the title isn’t on the page… how mysterious
• There are also days dedicated to some really interesting tutorials
• Register now, the conference is on September 25-28th in Bulgaria
• If you see Allan and Kris walking towards you and you haven’t given us an interview yet… well you know what’s going to happen
• Why aren’t the videos up from last year yet? Will this year also not have any?

FreeNAS vs NAS4Free

• More mainstream news covering BSD, this time with an article about different NAS solutions
• In a possibly excessive eight-page article, Ars Technica discusses the pros and cons of both FreeNAS and NAS4Free
• Both are based on FreeBSD and ZFS of course, but there are more differences than you might expect
• Discusses the different development models, release cycles, features, interfaces and ease-of-use factor of each project
• “One is pleasantly functional; the other continues devolving during a journey of pain” – uh oh, who’s the loser?

Quality software costs money, heartbleed was free

• PHK writes an article for ACM Queue about open source software projects’ funding efforts
• A lot of people don’t realize just how widespread open source software is – TVs, printers, gaming consoles, etc
• The article discusses ways to convince your workplace to fund open source efforts, then goes into a little bit about FreeBSD and Varnish’s funding
• The latest heartbleed vulnerability should teach everyone that open source projects are critical to the internet, and need people actively maintaining them
• On that subject, “Earlier this year the OpenSSL Heartbleed bug laid waste to Internet security, and there are still hundreds of thousands of embedded devices of all kinds—probably your television among them—that have not been and will not ever be software-upgraded to fix it. The best way to prevent that from happening again is to avoid having bugs of that kind go undiscovered for several years, and the only way to avoid that is to have competent people paying attention to the software”
• Consider donating to your favorite BSD foundation (or buying cool shirts and CDs!) and keeping the ecosystem alive

Geoblock evasion with pf and OpenBSD rdomains

• Geoblocking is a way for websites to block visitors based on the location of their IP
• This is a blog post about how to get around it, using pf and rdomains
• It has the advantage of not requiring any browser plugins or DNS settings on the users’ computers, you just need to be running OpenBSD on your router (hmm, if only a website had a tutorial about that…)
• In this post, the author wanted to get an American IP address, since the service he was using (Netflix) is blocked in Australia
• It’s got all the details you need to set up a VPN-like system and bypass those pesky geographic filters

BoringSSL and LibReSSL

• Yet another OpenSSL fork pops up, this time from Google, called BoringSSL
• Adam Langley has a blog post about it, why they did it and how they’re going to maintain it
• You can easily browse the source code
• Theo de Raadt also weighs in with how this effort relates to LibReSSL
• More eyes on the code is good, and patches will be shared between the two projects

More BSD Tor nodes wanted

• Friend of the show bcallah posts some news to the Tor-BSD mailing list about monoculture in the Tor network being both bad and dangerous
• Originally discussed on the Tor-Relays list, it was made apparent that having such a large amount of Linux nodes weakens the security of the whole network
• If one vulnerability is found, a huge portion of the network would be useless – we need more variety in the network stacks, crypto, etc.
• The EFF is also holding a Tor challenge for people to start up new relays and keep them online for over a year
• Check out our Tor tutorial and help out the network, and promote BSD at the same time!

FreeBSD 10 OpenStack images

• OpenStack, to quote Wikipedia, is “a free and open-source software cloud computing platform. It is primarily deployed as an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solution.”
• The article goes into detail about creating a FreeBSD instant, installing and converting it for use with “bsd-cloudinit”
• The author of the article is a regular listener and emailer of the show, hey!

BSDday 2014 call for papers

• BSD Day, a conference not so well-known, is going to be held August 9th in Argentina
• It was created in 2008 and is the only BSD conference around that area
• The “call for papers” was issued, so if you’re around Argentina and use BSD, consider submitting a talk
• Sysadmins, developers and regular users are, of course, all welcome to come to the event

That being said, we need to remind you that FreeBSD is being supported on Google Compute Engine by the community. The instructions are being provided as-is and without warranty.\”
• Their instructions are a little too Linuxy (assuming wget, etc.) for our taste, someone should probably get it updated!
• Other than that it\’s a pretty good set of instructions on how to get up and running

Faces of FreeBSD continues

• Our first one details Shteryana Shopova, the local organizer for EuroBSDCon 2014 in Sophia
• Gives some information about how she got into BSD
• \”I installed FreeBSD on my laptop, alongside the Windows and Slackware Linux I was running on it at the time. Several months later I realized that apart from FreeBSD, I hadn\’t booted the other two operating systems in months. So I wiped them out.\”
• She wrote bsnmpd and extended it with the help of a grant from the FreeBSD Foundation
• We\’ve also got one for Kevin Martin
• Started off with a pinball website, ended up learning about FreeBSD from an ISP and starting his own hosting company
• \”FreeBSD has been an asset to our operations, and while we have branched out a bit, we still primarily use FreeBSD and promote it whenever possible. FreeBSD is a terrific technology with a terrific community.\”

OpenPF?

• A blog post over at the Dragonfly digest
• What if we had some cross platform development of OpenBSD\’s firewall?
• Similar to portable OpenSSH or OpenZFS, there could be a centrally-developed version with compatibility glue
• Right now FreeBSD 9\’s pf is old, FreeBSD 10\’s pf is old (but has the best performance of any implementation due to custom patches), NetBSD\’s pf is old (but they\’re working on a fork) and Dragonfly\’s pf is old
• Further complicated by the fact that PF itself doesn’t have a version number, since it was designed to just be ‘the pf that came with OpenBSD 5.4’
• Not likely to happen any time soon, but it\’s good food for thought

Year of BSD on the server

• A good blog post about switching servers from Linux to BSD
• 2014 is going to be the year of a lot of switching, due to FreeBSD 10\’s amazing new features
• This author was particularly taken with pkgng and the more coherent layout of BSD systems
• Similarly, there was also a recent reddit thread, \”Why did you choose BSD over Linux?\”
• Both are excellent reads for Linux users that are thinking about making the switch, send \’em to your friends

Getting to know your portmgr

• This time in the series they interview Bryan Drewery, a fairly new addition to the team
• He started maintaining portupgrade and portmaster, and eventually ended up on the ports management team
